Breeding Fine Horses in Japan.


Horseback exercises were fayorite pas
times with the men at arms and the
landowners. These people being descend
ants from one of the races that have
furnished the best horsemen of the world
the Cossacks and the Tartars- have in
herited strong love of the horse. The
rank of the men at arms shows this, as
those who fought on foot occupied a
much lower position than those who
fought mounted. Up to comparative
" recent period there were no means Of
importing better blood to improve the
breeds of horses, but they made the most
Of their Tartar blood As animals for
cavalry purposes these are not to be de-
spised. They have carried to victory
some of the most formidable and effec-
tive cavalry of the world.
It was on these horses that the soldiers
of Tmour and the hordes of Ghengis
Khan rode to conquest. On these horses
thesons and grandsons of Kublai Khan
swept over western Asia, conquered the
dominions of the caliph, all of Russia
and the best parts of Hungary and
Poland. In the Seventeenth century the
king of Spain sent some of the best
Andalusian horses to Japan, and the
Portuguese also presented the rulers of
that country with well bred horses In
later years the Emperor Napoleon pre-
sented the tycoon with several fine Arab
horses, so that their Tartar breed of
horses has been materially improved.
Most of the horses of that country are
raised on the great grassy plains in a
semi wild state, and then caught and
broken to the saddle. Cor. San Fran

One of the finest farms in this vicinity
is that owned by Gen. Beale. tits named
Ash HILL The land is rolling, we'll
watered and grows grass in luxuriance.
The farm house is on slightly elevation
| overlooking every foot of the domain.
On this farm of 400 acres Gen. Beale
raises large herds Of blooded horses of
the Hambletonian breed. On this farm
too is to be seen the famous Arabian
horse Leopard, presented to Gen. Grant
by the sultan of Turkey. This horse is
| a perfect specimen of his kind. Although
upward of IA years of age he is marvel
of grace and suppleness. His color,
originally dapple gray, is now white.
Criticism is hushed in beholding him ex-
cept in the matter of size His weight
is about $50 pounds; his height scant
fifteen hands, His name and tail are
light; ears small and tapering; limbs
small, bony and indicative of blood,
strength and endurance. His neck from
shoulder to head is tapering and arched.
His head is simply perfection, broad be-
tween the eyes, bony and gracefully
tapers toward the muzzle. The nostrils
when distended by action or excitement
are large and pinklined. The eyes are
large, black and flashing. They glow
like GOALS of fire as he impatiently paws
the earth. Such eyes are never seen in
American bred horses. They glow with
such spirit, indomitable courage and
pride of race. Such rs Leopard, the
proud steed of the desert, whose royal
descent can be traced in an uIbroken
line for 1900 years. Washington Cor.

The man who framed the original
legal tender act is still living, resident
of Buffalo, N. Y. His name is E. G.
Spaulding, and his age is upwards of 80
years. He had served several terms in
the New York legislature, and the break
ing out of the war found him leading
member of the lower house in congress
and a member of the committee on
banking and currency. His prominence
caused him to be frequently consulted by
Secretary Chase, who asked his personal
assistance in devising bridge over the
financial crisis of that period. Being
familiar with the New York state bank
ing law, and believing it the. best that
could be framed, as he had himself
helped to frame it when in Albany, Mr..
Spaulding set about the preparation Of
the bill which afterwards became famous
as the legal tender act. Secretary Chase
and Mr.. Lincoln made few changes In
it, and Mr.. Spaulding introduced it into
the house.
The original bill is in the possession Of
its author, who prizes it highly, both as
family relic and as an historical docu-
ment. 1t covers, with its erasures and
signatures, about dozen pages of legal
cap, fastened together by two bright red
ribbons. Mr.. Spaulding is a lawyer by
profession, but he has for many years
been in the banking business as president
of the Farmers and Mechanics National
bank of Buffalo. He is an ardent Pres
byterian, was formerly social leader in
the Queen City, and is worth $40, ,000, 900.
His health is not good this winter, and
he rarely leaves his spacious Delaware
avenue mansion. Philadelphia Times.

Remedv for rired Eres.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attached to the eye
ball and the muscle of accommod odation,
which surrounds Che lens of the eye.
When near object is to be looked at
this muscle relaxes and allows the lens
to thicken, increasing its retroactive
power. The inner and outer muscle are
used in covering the eye on the object
to be looked at, the inner one being es-
pecially used when near object is looked
at. 1t is in the three muscles mentioned
that the fatigue is felt, and relief is Sc
cured temporarily by closing the eyes
or gazing at far distant objects. The
usual indication of strain is a redness of
the rim of the eyelid, betokening a con-
gested state Of the inner surface, accom-
panied with some pain. Sometimes this
WEAKNESS indicates the need of glasses
rightly adapted to the person, and in
other cases the true remedy is to massage
the eye and it's surrounding as far as may
be with the hands wet in cold water. -

The Etiquette Of Tact.

There is no aphorism that commands
more respect than this: The truth is
not to be spoken at all times.
Plain spoken people are always dreaded
by their friends. They excoriate with
unskillful scalpel. 1t is rule with them
to smooth pussy's fur the wrong way
on the principle that it is a healthy func-
ton. But the cat never appreciates it.
A few days ago a grand looking old
gentleman with white hair but fine,
strong physique gave up his seat in the
street car to a lady. Whereupon a
young miss jumps up and with great
eagerness exclaims:
Take my seat; please do. I never
like to see an old person stand.' Doubt
less the motive was good, but the man
ner was most offensive, drawing as it
did sharp and obtrusive line between
youth and age and calling attention to
the infrmities that all are sensitive to,
saying nothing to the implied rebuke tc
the lady who accepted the old gentle
man S seat
A similar incident witnessed by the
writer was met with a brusque response
An elderly lady was standing in the cai
when young lady arose and said:
Il am younger than you; will stand. ,
Suit yourself, . answered the lady who
was SO suddenly brought into promi-
nence, and she remained standing. DE

The Progress Of Florida.

There is no doubt that Florida has
made more progress in the last five years
than her most sanguine admirer could
have prophesied. The causes are numer-
GUS, not the least being her natural adj
vantages. We have plenty of lumber,
good harbors and fine soil and climate.
There is more than 81, 900, 600 invested in
summer resorts and watering places.
Several sanitariums have been started
with, as far as / have heard, good suc-
cess. Alligators? Yes, sir, plenty Of
them. Three or four tanneries devoted
solely to the preparation Of alligator
skins Next month opens the hunting
season for the alligator men. You know
just as soon as cold weather comes the
alligator turies himself in the mud,
where he stays until summer. Well,

this gay Bird, and having located him

When one thinks of the comparatively
small number of divorced persons in his
acquaintance, or within his personal
knowledge, it is hard to believe in the
correctness of the statistics, which show
that in this part of Ohio there is divorce
to every eight or ten marriages. One
reason for this is that very large part
of the men and women who are divorced
at all are divorced a second, and even, in
some cases, third or fourth time. Di-
vorce is one of the diseases which is apt
to strengthen its grip on its victims like
the opium habit, and just as chronic
s.drunks furnish large percentage Of
the cases of intoxication in any police
court, SO the chronic breakers of mar
riage vows contribute literally to swell
the shocking records of the divorce
courts. Cleveland Leader.

Telephone Prophecy.

The prophet Isaiah, in the fewest pos
sible words, describes the construction of
railroads:
every valley shall be exalted and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low, and the crooked shall be made
straight and the rough places plain.
And the glory Of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see it together. .
The prophet Habakkuk in the fewest
words possible describes the telephone.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall,
and the beam out of the timber shall
answer it. Second chapter, eleventh
verse; fourteenth verse: ssFor the earth
shall be filed with the knowledge of the
glory Of the Lord. as the waters cover
the sea. Both of these prophesies are
located in class of lispensational prophe-
cies, easily identified. Cor. Hartford

Several years ago, in an aristocratic old
town in MASSACHUSETTS,, there lived a
wealthy judge who had an only daugh-
ter. She was little deficient mentally,
but this fact was to a great extent
ignored on account of her fathers
money. One day the family were at a
stylish dinner party and after seversd
good, old fashioned dishes had been
served the walters brought in plates con-
taining on each plate piece of apple and
a piece of custard pie. The judges
daughter addressed one of them In a loud
voice, saying: II don't like apple pie,
but I'll take two pieces of custard. -

Change Of Tactics.

It was one of the maxims of Napoleon
that an army ought to change its system
of tactics every ten years. His meaning
was, that success does not rest upon
forms, which can be copied by other
armies or generals, but upon living energy
and intelligence, which are always cap
able of devising new combinations; and

A Paris Tenement House.

There is an immense number of rooms
in the building, and the horde of con-
stantly changing tenants is never so
great as to occupy much more than half

advantage of the numerous compart-

themselves true friends. Among them is
one who is permanent tenant. He is
young actor afflicted with cancer. For
two years he has lain on his bed in this
building, his sole income being an an
nuity from an actors relief fund,
amounting to ten francs month.
In the winter there has usually been
three francs added for the purchase of
fuel, but the fund is low this winter,
owing to numerous cases demanding re-
lief, and he gets no more than his regu-
lar ten francs. He is visited every day
by his fellow tenants, who share with
him tobacco, soup wood and even
money. He composes songs, designs and
writes, and at this time is devoting his
attention to preparing humanitarian

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS"
Women Who Organize, in Bands Of Ten,
for Doing Good Work.


The New York World calls attention
to the fact that there is in the American
metropolis society of women known as
the Kings Daughters, which, despite its
royal title, is a very democratic organiza-
ton. 1t was begun by ten women who
felt an impulse to do some organized re-
ligious work and objected to the tram
mels of big, unwieldly society. So
these ten met at the house of one of their
number less than year ago, elected a
president, adopted motto, watchword
and a badge, consisting of tiny Maltese
cross suspended to d bit Of royal purple
ribbon.
The society has grown very large mot
added to the original group, but organ
lied in other branches of ten each-and
the strange sight is seen sometimes of a
woman at the connte5 of a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon ont the breast of the
woman who serves Der, extending her
hand cordially and saying, 81 also am a
daughter of the king The original ten
have formed the nucleus of a general
society, and are known as the Central
Ten. To them perplexing matters are
referred, but the organization is very
elastic, and each little group carries on
its own self chosen work in its own
way. One of the tens decided to visit
the sick children in the hospitals, and
chose that as their work. A number of
them, various tens taking turn, visit the
hospitals and regularly assist in the insti-
tuition, also bringing dolls, picture books
and toys for the little ones. One ten has
undertaken to teach class of poor work
ing girls to sew and cook.
Ten society girls with trained voices
call themselves a Musical Ten, and sing
in hospitals and at charitable concerts.
One branch calls itself the Shut-in Ten,
consisting of intalids who have been con-
fined to the house for years; another ten
devote themselves to these invalids and
endeavor to bring light and joy into their
lives, corresponding with them, visiting
them, reading to them and teaching them
all sorts of fancy work to beguile their
tedious lives. Some branches devote
themselves to home and foreign missions,
and there have been tens formed in
boarding schools for their self improve
ment. Girls prominent in society have
joined themselves to the Kings Daugh-
ters, finding an outlet for their surplus
energies and room for whatever their
special taste dictates. Detroit Free Press.
